Manchester United fans are likely still smarting from a very frustrating loss at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, but there is always a new day, and this one reminds us of a stunning goal scored exactly 23 years ago.
It came from the famous right foot of David Beckham, who hit a free-kick like screamer into the top corner from distance to give United a crucial lead in their Champions League quarter-final first leg clash away to Deportivo.
While Depor may have fallen on hard times of late, in the early 2000s, they were a formidable side, and one who had beaten the Red Devils home and away in the group stage that season, which adds to the brilliance of the goal.
How Ruben Amorim would like something similar in next week's Europa League quarter final first leg in Lyon.
